Your thinking is incorrect. The correct primary English sentence pattern for the sentence "The toddler tossed his father the ball" is C. Subject, verb, object, object complement.

In the sentence, "The toddler" is the subject, "tossed" is the verb, "his father" is the object, and "the ball" is the object complement. The object complement renames or describes the object in the sentence.

To determine the primary English sentence pattern, you can break down the sentence by identifying the subject, verb, object, and any additional components or complements. In this case, the subject is "The toddler," the verb is "tossed," the object is "his father," and the object complement is "the ball."

Therefore, the correct answer is C. Subject, verb, object, object complement.
